Welcome to the Renown page!
Renown House Rules
Helpful Commands
+renown: Show current renown.
+renown/log: Show a log of renown awards (default last 30 days).
+renown/log <days>: Show renown going back some number of days.
Basic House Rules
- Renown in W20 Core and W20 Changing Breeds is modified for MUSH play.
The book is written for table-top play. MUSH players are daily contributors.
With 24 hour play available, it's easier to accrue Renown.
Therefore, we've removed the book-written renown totals, otherwise people will be ranking up too fast without the xp and stats to match.
- Renown is modified based on Rank Level and story value.
- The Spirits (aka Staff) are the ultimate judges for Renown based on deeds.
- Shifter Litanies and Creeds are weighed for rewards vs loss.
Monthly Awards
- Monthly participation in a ST event/story is required to earn monthly Sept duties & responsibilities rewards, but you're responsible for putting the requests in yourself.
- +0.2 Honor (awarded if criteria is met).
- These awards are open to Fera and Garou alike.
- If you forget to request something right away, that's okay, but we'll only back-date renown by 30 days.
Mystic/Crafting
- You may earn Wisdom for teaching and learning rituals.
- +0.1 Wisdom per ritual taught (max 0.2 per month for teaching)
- +0.1 Wisdom per ritual learned (max 0.2 per month for learning)
- You may earn +0.1 Wisdom for crafting Talens and Fetishes.
- +0.1 Wisdom per batch of Talens made (max +0.2 per month for Talen crafting)
- +0.1 Wisdom per Fetish made (max +0.2 per month for Fetish crafting)
- These awards are open to Fera and Garou alike.
Ranking requirements
- Aside from renown point requirements for a new rank, staff has further stat and activity requirements for rank.
- Gaining rank isn't meant to be solely a means for more power and authority, it's a symbol of leadership and active duty to Gaia/Sea/Ananasa/etc.
Garou Renown
- These are samples and suggestions, not a fixed list of exact deeds and awards. Staff will use this as a guide and adjust accordingly to match the involvement of plots at hand and keep the game as balanced as possible.

Rank Charts and Requirements
How to gain Rank
- Be a part of plots and stories, and do things that relate to entries on your appropriate charts below.
- Storytellers: Make sure you submit a renown request for your players when your plot/scene is finished.
- If you think you did something worth renown while you're existing on the grid, put in a +request for it.
- Players: You're responsible for requesting your personal non-plot gained renown (such as monthly chores, pack related things, public relations, etc)
- When you have the required amount of renown for your new rank, +request your readiness for a challenge.
- Gaining Rank 2: Doing a rank-up challenge story is optional. If you don't want to do one, you can just do the +request paperwork to set your rank and be done.
- Gaining Rank 3 or higher: Requires a rank-up challenge story, and meeting standards on your +sheet relevant to your Auspice/Aspect/etc. The higher the rank you're going for, the more chance of failure because the challenges are more difficult.
- If you fail a challenge: It's no big deal, challenge again. A failure is not a reflection on either the player or the character, sometimes it's bad luck and sometimes it's a cue that things were missed. You still get an amazing story out of it, things to talk about, things to learn and try. So don't worry, don't get mad, even the W20 books say outright that these challenges are meant to be difficult and a lot of people do not succeed the first time.

I command you to destroy that which harms Gaia.
I command you to aid your brothers, your sisters, and that which serves Gaia.
I command you to revere Your Mother, Myself, your Aunts, your Uncles, and Our Favored Servants.
I command you to keep your duty first in your heart, and to listen for my teachings.
I forbid you to exterminate the humans.
I forbid you to make war on your brothers and sisters.
I forbid you to break your word.
I forbid you to commit suicide for reasons of honor.
I free you to do anything else necessary to achieve our goals.
